Vila do Ventura
Vila do Ventura, in Morro do Chapéu, Bahia: a geosite with a waterfall, rock paintings at Cidade das Pedras and the ruins of an old mining village.
Vila do Ventura is a geosite where what is left of an old mining village shares the ground with rock and vegetation. The standing ruins give the place the look of an abandoned settlement, and that contrast between built heritage and natural landscape is what the visit is about.
The same area holds Cachoeira do Ventura, the waterfall, and the Cidade das Pedras site, where rock paintings can be seen. Waterfall, archaeology and architecture sit close enough to be covered in a single trip.
Access is by car, around 37 km and an average of 20 minutes on the road. Physical effort on site is light, which makes it workable for visitors who would rather skip a demanding hike.
Vila do Ventura is in Morro do Chapéu, Bahia, a municipality in the Jacobina microregion and the Irecê immediate region. Nearby, the Vivai catalogue also lists Cachoeira do Ferro Doido, Buraco do Possidônio and Gruta dos Brejões, useful if you are putting together more than one day in the area.
